[IronPython] Dict convertion question

[Bruce Christensen]

Sometimes. :) ToCodeString() from .NET is the same as repr() from
Python. So if you stick to simple things like lists, dicts, strings,
etc., then that will work. Once you add objects into the mix, though,
all bets are off.

I don't know much about ToCodeString, but from the name, it should
produce a string that can be treated as Python code.  If you were to
write something like
    mydict =
into the file, name the file mydict.py, and run that file -- wouldn't
you end up with your dictionary back in a Python variable?
